Corn Removal

Symptoms: corns are referred to medically as helomatas, and are usually considered to be areas of thick, dry, hard skin on the feet that can be very painful. Corns are most likely to occur on flat surfaces of the foot, and form as a result of repeated rubbing motions against rough surfaces, such as poorly fitted shoes. Corns can also be soft, and these usually form between the toes where the skin is moist.

Treatment: Your Podiatrist can treat corns in a number of different ways, depending on the severity of the corn, its type, and location on the foot. In most cases treatment will involve paring down the corn using specially designed and sterilized medical instruments.
